From The Back Bayou

Who doesn't love a good theme party? When a very close friend sent me an invite to his black and white birthday party I was immediately on the hunt for a perfect dress. I checked though my favorite shops but I just wasn't finding exactly what I was looking for. I then scoured the stores on Etsy and found this gem. It's vintage, has boning, and was the perfect length. I knew it had to be mine! Jenny over at Back Bayou Vintage has such an eye for great vintage, it was difficult to restrain myself from buying a few things. I'm trying to keep it in my closet until the day of the party but I keep putting it on so I can admire its perfection. It's definitely love!

I've been sleep deprived for a week now. Poor Bianca is cutting her two front teeth already (this is her third and fourth tooth) and our nights are sleepless. She's cranky during the day but an absolute nightmare at night. I feel so bad for her! I have certain meds and such to help alleviate the pain but it seems like nothing lasts longer than an hour. I very much feel like I'm not even living inside my body... If that makes any sense. I know this will pass, but I'm certain that teething is worse than her newborn phase! Until then I'll be rocking some pretty sweet under eye bags.

This dress is so wonderful. I am envious of your tallness that you can wear this. It would be at my ankles, ugh! Also your shoes are quite wonderful. I love that they look like flats in the front. Magical shoes! And while I'm at it, I still can't figure out how you are so good at doing short hair (or any hair). I could learn a million tricks from you. Hope little Beyonce feels better soon :)

Hello,Ciao Ashley...first time here and enjoyed the visit:you have a great blog and and a Talent in style!W the polkadot dress...it's great on you...it celebrate your gorgeous Silhouette and Beauty...Cheers!greetings from Italy

Oh no. I hope this phase passes quickly. I know exactly what you mean about not feeling like you're in your body after many all-nighters in college but luckily I was able to sleep in after a few days of hell. I wish you the best of luck!

Also this dress. So pretty! What a great find! I think your pink hair is just perfect with it.

I'm a part-time stay at home mom and blog about my personal style whenever I have free time. I'm born and raised in sunny southern California. I have a happy little life with my husband, our three-year-old daughter, and our five rescue dogs (one golden mix, four chihuahuas, two with special needs). I enjoy shopping (of course), photography, and going on trips to Disneyland :). Enjoy!
